| Summary: | This paper presents prints of two previously unpublished water colours depicting the excavation of slabs and sculptures found during Layard's excavations at Nimrud in June 1850. Though neither image is signed, an identification of the artist as S.C. Malan is probable. Gadd's (1938) study of Malan's drawings concentrated on his work at Nineveh. This paper focuses on the sketches made at Nimrud and completes the catalogue of pictures Malan drew at both sites (Appendix A) and publishes the previously unpublished Nimrud and Nineveh drawings. |
